Yoga at Vikasa

We hope you’ll enjoy our yoga classes in our sea side yoga sala at Vikasa Yoga Retreat. Frequent yoga practice greatly improves your well being, physical shape and the overall quality of your life.

There is no special dress required, so just wear comfortable lightweight clothes. As your practice develops, you might want to buy your own mat. Until then, just use the high quality mats provided here at the Vikasa retreat. A towel and drinking water will be provided for you as well.

The Evolution of Detox

Feeling unhealthy, sluggish or bloated? Sugary foods, alcohol, chemical additives and general excess can leave your organs overworked and your digestive system exhausted. An occasional detox can give your system a well-deserved break from all the chemical additives and other hard-to-digest elements we encounter on a daily basis. You’ll be amazed by how you feel after a detox as your system improves its ability to absorb the nutrients found in fresh foods. This gives you more energy, restores cells faster, and also improves your body’s ability to rejuvenate and heal. Detox is the body’s natural process of neutralizing or eliminating toxins. Toxins are anything that can potentially harm body tissue; they can be produced naturally, ingested through our diet or inhaled from our environment. While our bodies perform the detox process by themselves, it is thought that certain food types and herbs can assist the process and even help to speed it up. Find the right program for you at our resort here. Detox Programs >>
